In short: Excellent OrganisationIn full: Good race and the two laps weren't that bad for those doing the 20 miler, Friendly marshalls and plentiful water stations. Its a well organised run.A little expensive as a training run (presume many used it as that for a spring marathon rather than a race). Loved the mars bar in the goody bag!Date of review: February 15, 2015

In short: Greedy Sweatshop companyIn full: This race is organised by Sweatshop and they have too many runners in order to make a profit. Not enough staff or buses, this race has a great history but is quickly losing its good reputation that it had. lots of other spring half marathons to choose from. No apologies from Reading HM yet? Do they even care? Date of review: March 3, 2014

In short: Nice race but lots of room for improvementIn full: Hard to know about this race in the future because if it gets any bigger it will be too congested in Kew gardens and the early parts of the Towpath. The price is too expensive for a non UKA run, i didnt mind the mile markers being hand written but i did mind the mile markers being in the wrong place, Mile Marke 2 was at 1.83 and mile 10 was also a lot out. But the others where ok so only a minor detail but still something that any race should get right.The race measured 13miles on my Garmin so came up short another runner also told me that theirs came up just short. Garmins arent 100% but ALL my race are always over the distance.The water stations were also under staffed, i had to pick up the cups from the table and i was towards the front of the field so it must have been worse further down. Not a big problem but a little annoying if you are chasing a PB.these issuses are easily fixable.Good atmosphere at the finish and a really nice T-shirt, this is a good fun run but not worth £34. Bring down the price, sort the these few issues and then i may well come back as the Route is lovelyDate of review: September 22, 2013

In short: Possible the best new race of the yearIn full: It is obvious that this is a race organised by runners and everything went like clockwork, an excellent goody bay and freebie’s which was nearly worth the race entry fee only! Very enthusiastic marshals which is always great. The free photos are a really nice touch. I will make this a regular in my racing calendar I’m sure it will sell out much quicker next year.Date of review: September 11, 2012

In full: We at Ealing Eagles Running Club are working with the promoters of this race to make improvements from last year. It is a wide open park and will be well marshalled and signed. Good PB potential and a low cost to enter and a friendly atmosphere, See ye all there.Date of review: June 2, 2011

In full: HiI did not do this race last year but have read the reviews and there is lots of room for improvement. So we at Ealing Eagles running club have come on board to advise and help out with Running this race this year (2011), we will have a clearly laid out and accurately measured course that will be well marshalled. With 10nr Km signs. Adequate water and extra loo's. We are addressing all the points raised on the forum and hope to run a much more professional race, which will still be good fun and is excellent value for money. Give it a go!Date of review: May 31, 2011
